Subjectivity and Nationhood in Yeats, Joyce, and Beckett: Nietzschean Constellations
This groundbreaking book reimagines Friedrich Nietzsche's position in the intellectual history of modernism and offers a fresh perspective on his relationship with these Irish modernists. Building upon recent advancements in new modernist studies, the book establishes that Nietzsche is both a modernist writer and philosopher by drawing insightful parallels between his engagement with established philosophical theories and the aesthetic practices that Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot recognized as defining characteristics of modernism.
In particular, the book delves into key Nietzschean philosophies such as eternal recurrence, the Ãœbermensch, transnationalism, cultural paralysis, and ethical perspectivism. It challenges the long-held assumption that Yeats, who openly expressed his admiration for Nietzsche, is the most Nietzschean among these Irish modernists. While highlighting how Joyce and Beckett are in many respects more Nietzschean than Yeats, this interdisciplinary study makes significant contributions to the fields of Irish studies and modernist studies.
Through its meticulous analysis and compelling arguments, Subjectivity and Nationhood in Yeats, Joyce, and Beckett: Nietzschean Constellations sheds light on the complex interplay between subjectivity, nationhood, and the philosophical ideas of Nietzsche, offering a fresh and thought-provoking perspective on the literary and cultural landscape of the early 20th century.
